Abstract
The prevalence of obesity among adolescents has become a global public health issue, with lifestyle choices playing a significant role in this trend. To examine the correlation between lifestyle choices and obesity rates among adolescents and to identify patterns that could potentially inform preventive strategies. A cross‐sectional study was conducted involving 200 adolescents, using stratified random sampling to ensure representation. Data were collected through surveys and physical examinations and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Preliminary findings indicate a strong correlation between sedentary lifestyle, poor dietary choices, and increased obesity rates among adolescents. Patterns of higher screen time and lower physical activity were particularly prominent among the obese group. The study underscores the impact of lifestyle choices on adolescent obesity, highlighting the need for targeted interventions that promote physical activity and nutritional education.
